About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

This two-fer, which pairs up Stewart's best album (1975's Out of Hand) and a decent similarly themed outing from two years later, serves as a fine intro to both Stewart's mildly outlaw country and one of the best genre albums of the '70s. Your Place or Mine sounds a little tame, as well as a bit flashy, in retrospect, but Hand is a seminal work, traditional in approach and style but with just enough rock & roll attitude to complement the honky tonking.

October 28, 2001: If you are a country music fan - I'm talking George Jones and Merle Haggard, not Neil McCoy and Toby Keith - you should have this twin album on CD. 'Out of Hand' has been in release for several years on a reissue by Hightone Records, but to the best of my knowledge this is the first time 'Your Place Or Mine' has been released on CD. 'Out of Hand' has been consistently rated as one of the top ten country music albums of all times (#3 is as high as I've seen it), and deservedly so, but the 'Your Place or Mine' album personifies the drinking honky-tonking country genre. While 'Your Place or Mine' and 'Ten Years of This' have been released on Greatest Hits and Essential Albums, the true treasures on this album are the crying in my beer tunes 'I Had To Get Drunk Last Night', 'Drinking Again' 'Blue Ribbon Blues', and 'Broken Hearted People (Take Me to a Barroom)' - which is my personal favorite. The lyrics are catchy and powerful ''Take me to a Barroom Driver/Set me on a stool/If I cannot be her man/I'll be damned if I'll be her fool''. Also included are the bluesy/rocking Allman Brothers influenced ''Your Place or Mine'' and ''Leah''. ''Ten Years of This'' and ''Rachel'' are also wonderful songs. Out of Hand features Gary's only top ten hits 'Out of Hand', 'Drinkin' Thing', and the #1 'She's Actin Single (I'm Drinkin Doubles'. 'I See the Want to In Your Eyes' also would of been a hit for Gary, but he unfortunately recorded and released it at the same time as Conway Twitty, but Gary's version is a must hear. If you are a borderline alcoholic, I can't recommend this album - it will push you over the edge. But in all seriousness, if you haven't heard Gary Stewart, you are missing out. He is perhaps the most underrated country music influence ever. In the Seventies he laid the foundation for today's country music. If you like Merle Haggard, George Jones, Keith Whitley, and George Strait, you will love Gary Stewart. I also recently purchased another CD from DemonWestside LTD in England which doubled up two other Gary Stewart CD's ''Gary/Cactus and a Rose'', which is very good, but if you want one Gary Stewart album this is it. Enjoy!!!
